Childish stupidity among Democrats?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

According to this article,

Just as reports of thousands of Republicans switching to the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania came streaming in this week, Gallup says Democrats are equally intent on crossing over to the GOP and voting for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) if a candidate they do not support wins the Democratic party nomination.

The pollster said 28 percent of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY)supporters and 19 percent of Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) supporters would vote for McCain if their candidate lost the party nomination.

I have one little question for these 28% of Clinton supporters and 19% of Obama supporters:

Are you retarded or something!?!?

Do you have any idea of what the consequences of such petulance, such stubbornness, such “I’m taking him/her down with me” sore losing, such stupidity are? Do you hate your candidate’s Democratic rival so much, so irrationally, that you’re prepared to condemn your country to 4 more years of neoconservatism? Do you have any idea what the party of war, torture, tax cuts to the rich, wiretapping, and the Religious Right, emboldened by a third victory in a row, can do to your country and even to the rest of the world?

Do you honestly think — that is, assuming you think at all, which I find doubtful — that the Democratic candidate other than your favorite is as bad, or even worse, as McCain, even though he or she has positions on the issues much closer to your candidate’s than McCain?

Have you even considered the fact that, regardless of whether Obama or Clinton wins, the administration will be filled with Democrats, while McCain will keep the Republican thugs who have done so much damage?

I don’t like Hillary myself. I think she just cares about power, about getting elected, and that she should have conceded already. But I’d never, in a million years, say I’d rather have McCain, or that they’re as bad as each other. And anyone who claims that much, who supports McCain out of childish, unthinking spite, is a complete imbecile, and shouldn’t even be considered mature enough to vote.

Obama as Dream (from Neil Gaiman’s "Sandman")?

Don’t know who created this (the place I found it in just linked to it as a remote image), but it is certainly something you don’t see every day. One of the best parts from the first volume of Gaiman’s Sandman, with Obama as Morpheus/Dream and Hillary as Choronzon, a demon. I hadn’t read that comic in years, but after looking at the image for a couple of sentences, it “clicked”, and I remembered where it was from, and the unexpected ending, still beautiful after all these years: “I am hope.”

I don’t think Hillary is pure evil, though. :) I just think that she doesn’t yet understand a fact of U.S. politics, which even a foreigner like myself has already realized: between a Republican and a Republican wannabe, Republicans will vote for the real thing, and Democrats will stay at home. (John Kerry, anyone?)

Anyway, I thought about posting the entire dialogue here, but I think the effect is better if you read it on the image above. :) Just try to read it from the beginning (“I am a dire wolf…”).
